IMHO the true portable is the one-piece, portability is exactly what it was designed for.Superduper said:This is just me but in my mind, a portable stereo should be a 1 piece all-in-one solution and designed as such. After decades of collecting home audio gear, I can say that the worst (exceptions to every rule of course) home receiver/cassette/speaker solution is going to sound better by far than the best portable audio solution. The audio specs and THD's present in a portable stereo is so poor that any home gear advertising such specs would be laughed off the planet. But..... it's a compromise we make for the sake of portability.
3 piece boxes look too much like a home shelf system and the detachable speakers usually make them a little more fragile when handling for my tastes. In my mind, they are more like a cross between my ideal portable and a home shelf system. Detachable speakers? That would be portable stereo blasphemy! To each his own so no hate mails please.
OK, OK. On a lighter note, IMHO you would be comparing oranges and apples.
Spot on ira, it makes me laugh just thinking about it It may be rare but what bloody good is a funken with no handle fond memorys ehh sad thing though i gave it away as it had been smashed in the post and had no handle but i still have the batt door, sombody was looking for one but i can't remember whoredbenjoe said:

tim - do i have this right ???
1.you were desparate to get a studio
2. you finally found one----after years of hard searching
3. you went to get it --ON A DARK NITE
4. but you could not locate the handle--
5 . and it was much too heavy and clumsy to carry home w/o the handle :'-(
6. the next morning --you went back to get it ---in the daylite
7. and you STILL could not find the handle !!!!
8. and it was a stock /factory tele studio
so - you bought the worlds most rare model
redbenjoe said:agree with the last 2 guys
except --some of the 3 piece designs --have such solid latches--
so they really handle and behave like one piece boxes.
so---its fair to compare
